    The game's music is praised for its quality and effective audio analysis, offering a robust library mainly featuring house and trance genres, with the option to import and practice using personal tracks. It serves as a valuable learning tool for DJs, teaching mixing techniques, harmony compatibility, and timing through career and practice modes. Some users desire more diverse genres, such as breakbeats, and bulk song import functionality.

    • “Music: it was shockingly good.”
    • “I discovered several new artists with cool tracks, and the ability to load your own songs is even better.”

    • “Music analysis can be problematic even in professional DJ software, requiring manual adjustments, so I'm very curious how this functionality will work.”
    • “I would really like to see breakbeats included in the track list; everything right now is house/trance, and that's a pretty easy style of music to spin.”
    • “One thing I would like to see is the ability to add songs in bulk.”

    • “Graphics were rather washed out and plain but I'm in the tutorial practice in your room mode.”
